Tight end Randall Telfer, a sixth-round pick from USC, has signed his deal with Cleveland, the team said Thursday.

The contract is for four seasons.

Telfer (6-4, 250) caught 21 passes for 197 yards and two touchdowns in his senior season of 2014. He’ll vie for a role in a Cleveland tight end corps that includes fellow sixth-round pick Malcolm Johnson from Mississippi State. The Browns saw top tight end Jordan Cameron depart in free agency but have since added reinforcements via the draft and also in free agency (ex-Cardinal Rob Housler).

Collins’ pregnant former girlfriend, Brittney Mills, was shot to death on April 24. She delivered a baby boy, who died on Friday. His death has been declared a homicide.

Baton Rouge police have said Collins is not a suspect in the deaths. He met with earlier this police this week.

Collins, who went undrafted as teams waited to learn more information about his situation, is set to meet with the Cowboys, the Advocate reported Wednesday. The date of the meeting is not yet known, but clubs can’t officially meet with Collins until LSU’s final exams end on May 9, per an NFL rule.

The Bears aren’t wasting any time striking deals with their draft picks.

Chicago announced Wednesday it had agreed to contracts with first-round pick Kevin White and second-round selection Eddie Goldman.

A wide receiver from West Virginia, the 6-foot-3, 215-pound White will push to start immediately opposite Alshon Jeffery in Chicago. He was timed at 4.35 seconds in the 40-yards dash at the 2015 NFL Combine, tied for third-best among wideouts.

Goldman (6-4, 336) is likely to contribute at nose tackle for the Bears. The Florida State product was voted a first-team All-American by The Associated Press in 2014.

Third-round pick Hroniss Grasu, a center from Oregon, is the lone Bears draftee yet to reach a deal with the club.

Though the 49ers did not draft a quarterback, they have added a rookie free agent at the position.

San Francisco has signed South Carolina’s Dylan Thompson, the team said Tuesday. Thompson is the lone quarterback among the 49ers’ nine undrafted free agent signees.

Thompson (6-3, 218) connected on about 60 percent of his pass attempts in 2014, throwing for 3,564 yards with 26 TDs and 11 interceptions. Thompson and Blaine Gabbert are the lone backups to Colin Kaepernick on the San Francisco roster.

While PFT Planet correctly handicapped those props, they struggled on two of the gambles:

— A majority of readers believed the first, second or third pick of the draft would be traded. Alas, no trades came until the Chargers moved up for the No. 15 pick.

— About 60 percent of voters projected Alabama wideout Amari Cooper to be selected no earlier than No. 5 in Round One. However, he was Oakland’s pick at No. 4.

Despite those losses, PFT Planet ended up a collective winner on the five draft props. Assuming the normal house edge, where bettors have to bet $11 to win $10, PFT Planet ended up $2,732 in mythical commenter dollars.

So congratulations, readers. You beat the house this time. Here, have some buffet passes. How about some show tickets? Can we freshen your drinks?

The Colts announced Monday they had reached deals with 15 undrafted free agents, including a quarterback who played at the Senior Bowl.

Southeastern Louisiana quarterback Bryan Bennett, who began his collegiate career at Oregon, is among the UDFAs agreeing to terms with Indianapolis.

Bennett (6-2, 211) threw for 2,357 yards with 18 TDs and eight interceptions in 2014. He also led his team in rushing (669 yards, 15 TDs). However, he completed less than 50 percent of his passes a season ago, and he could be more likely to stick on the Colts’ practice squad than their roster.

The Colts also announced a deal with Yale running back Tyler Varga, another Senior Bowl invitee. Varga (5-11, 222) rushed for 1,423 yards and scored 26 total touchdowns for the Bulldogs as a senior.

Carden (6-2, 218) threw for more than 4,000 yards in each of his final two seasons with the Pirates. In this span, he threw 66 TDs and just 20 picks in 1,166 passes. Carden will vie to stick on a depth chart that includes Jay Cutler, Jimmy Clausen and David Fales.

When a defense allows the third-most yards per play in the previous regular season, the subsequent draft would figure to bring to reinforcements.

Such was the case for the Steelers, who selected six defensive players in eight picks in the 2015 NFL Draft.

Half of the defensive selections were defensive backs: Ole Miss cornerback Senquez Golson (Round Two), Ohio State cornerback Doran Grant (Round Four) and Louisville safety Gerod Holliman (Round Seven). Golson and Grant have a chance to vie for roles right off the bat, while Holliman has a chance to make the roster, what with safety not one of the Steelers’ deeper positions.

The Steelers began the draft selecting an edge-rusher, Kentucky’s Bud Dupree, in Round One. Other front seven picks were Miami (Fla.) outside linebacker/defensive end Anthony Chickillo (Round Six) and Central Michigan defensive tackle Leterrius Walton (Round Six). Dupree, Walton and Chickillo all face a learning curve as they learn the Steelers’ defense, but if they can play, there are reps to be had.

Whether the Steelers’ defensive picks pan out remains to be seen. But leaning defense was the play in 2015, and it may have been the only one, given the depth chart.

According to multiple reports, a fire damaged the family home of Falcons draft pick Grady Jarrett on Friday night, but no one was hurt in the incident, FoxSports.com reported.

Per NFL Media and FoxSports.com, there were between about 30 to 50 people at the home in Conyers, Georgia when smoke drove those present out of the house. The fire, which damaged the left side of the house, is thought have been electrical in nature, per FoxSports.com.

Jarrett’s agent, Carmen Wallace, told NFL Media that the home can be salvaged but needed work.

The Falcons traded up in Round Five to select Jarrett, a defensive tackle who played collegiately at Clemson.

At the top of Round Five, the Falcons struck for one of the top defensive tackles still on the board, trading up with Minnesota to select Clemson’s Grady Jarrett at No. 137.

In exchange, the Vikings received a fifth-round pick (No. 146) and a sixth-round choice (No. 185).

The son of former Falcons linebacker Jesse Tuggle, Jarrett (6-1, 304) notched 73 tackles and 12 QB pressures for Clemson in 2014, per statistics from the school.

Writing in his 2015 NFL Draft Preview, personnel analyst Nolan Nawrocki compared Jarrett to a “poor man’s Brandon Mebane.” The 6-foot-1, 311-pound Mebane has had a productive career for the Seahawks, for whom new Atlanta head coach Dan Quinn was an assistant for four seasons.

Jarrett would seem likely to compete for a role in Seattle’s DT rotation in Year One. And if he turns out like Mebane — a starter in all eight NFL seasons — then the Falcons will have made one of the best moves of Round Five.

With running back Matt Forte in the final year of his contract, the Bears moved to add some depth at the position at the beginning of the fourth round, selecting Michigan State’s Jeremy Langford with the 106th overall pick.

As a senior in 2014, Langford (6-0, 208) rushed for 1,522 yards and 22 TDs for the Spartans, gaining 5.5 yards per carry.

Langford, Jacquizz Rodgers and Ka’Deem Carey are the primary options behind Forte, one of the game’s most versatile backs. Longer term, the focus will turn to whether Langford can assume a bigger role in the backfield for Chicago.

First, they added a new starter (Nick Foles) in a March trade with Philadelphia.

Now, they have added a rookie to the mix, taking Oregon State’s Sean Mannion in Round Three (No. 89 overall).

The 6-foot-6, 229-pound Mannion is likely to compete with Austin Davis for the Rams’ top reserve role. He threw for 13,600 yards with 83 TDs and 54 interceptions in four collegiate seasons, completing 64.6 percent of his throws.

Foles and Davis are in the final years of their contracts; at the least, Mannion is some long-term insurance at the position.

The more interesting storyline, of course, is whether Mannion becomes more than that.
